To see more on your travels, look to your Smartphone!

It seems, these days that more and more we are being reminded about how important it is to get away from the “screens” and get our eyes back on the real world. Well, when it comes to navigating and finding the best that your travel destinations have to offer, a few minutes staring at your smartphone might really pay off!

No matter what smartphone platform you prefer, a quick trip to the “app store” will reveal an almost limitless number of mobile apps, designed to help you get the most out of your trip. Hotel bookings, nearby local restaurants and attractions, sightseeing destinations, detailed maps and event calendars are all just a touch away. Plus, many of the apps feature reviews from fellow explorers who have already visited, so you’ll have a good sense of what you’re in for.

Looking for a great place to start? We like Trip Advisor. Or, to go even deeper, try Fodor’s localized city guides! Happy motoring – and don’t forget to bookmark a visit to any of our Canadian Duty Free border store locations, where you’ll ALWAYS Do Better at the Border!
